Today I'm participating in Day 2 of a two-day event hosted by the Meyvn Group focusing on leadership and coaching skills that increase organizational effectiveness and productivity. I'm thoroughly enjoying their "learning laboratory" approach to training out at Walnut Woods State Park; we participate in different activities and then are asked to reflect on them which leads to eye-opening realizations and discussion. The Meyvn Group specializes in training and development, human resources consulting, business coaching and organizational development. If you're not already familiar with this group, you need to get familiar. They're doing great work...
What are you doing to maintain or improve your skills? Do you work in an industry where a 6-month stint not working will out date your skills? Before I started this blog, I noticed that my writing skills were getting a little rough around the edges. And this is only after 3 months off the job! If you don't use it, you lose it. If there are skills you need to maintain or improve on, you need to find a way to do it. I know there are a lot of online courses available for free or for a minimal fee. In this competitive marketplace, don't let the difference between you and your competition be skills that you have the chance to maintain or acquire.
